ago, which has come to the knowledge
of the writer without any effort on the
part of the principal actor to make it
known. Mr.. Kaufman, the enterpris-
ing hcad-partner of the New York
Cash Store, on the occasion of the
marriage of his partner and brother-in-
law, Mr.. Nathan 1"klas. in San Fran
cisco, on he 22d Ilt., sent orders for
flour and other supplies to a number
of l., I'd, families in this city. He
likewise closed the store at the hour
of the ceremony, and treated his en-
ployes to an excellent dinner, in COM
memoration OF the event.
Quite a number of residents of this
county were subpenaed to serve on
the juries in behalf of the United
States to indict and try the Chinese
conspirators, who have been SO long
awaiting the tardy wheels of justice, at
Tacoma. They have been absent this
week on that duty. If the "Third
times the CHARM" as the old proverb
has it, probably our venerable relative
will be able to make his work stick this
effort, if the object is not simply to
annoy and harrass some of the best
people of our sister city.
1t is reported that next week
the steamer Emma Hayward will
change her time to that of the Fleet
rood, and begin a lively opposition,
another boat being assigned to perform
her present duty of connecting with
the trains for through service. The
little steamer has been thorn in the
side of her stately rival ever since she
came to the Sound, and there was no
love existing between the respective
owners before she left the Columbia
river. If nothing less than blood will
satisfy the Boston" company, it is
hoped that the public will prolong the
conflict by according a generous pa
tronage to the Fleetwood, which has
already done so much towards bring
ing its rival down from her stills.

Mr.. McCallister has just received

Mr.. Binkley is laying in his fresh

The sun is shining, birds singing,

Mr.. Steiger has large stock of

Cedar bolts are fast being laid on

Mr.. Randall has filed on 40 acres of

such good land in the Territory.
Mr.. Richards, of the Centralia

We have a good shoemaker here,

We think probably there is to be a

Our term for the public schools is

their morals corrected.
Though we all feel busy this beauti-

nothing for the papers. Possibly our

Clunie Opera House.

The sparkling comic opera, The Oath
of Love- was sung by the Pyke Opera
Company last night to splendid audience
one of the best that has assembled for
opera bouffe in this city in long time.
The opera was presented with a spirit and
merry humor and lyric effectiveness that
gave the auditors entire satisfaction. While
Mr. Pyke and Mr.. West were not in the
cast of characters, a new voice was heard
that of Miss Tellula Evans, California
singer. She is petite, of good stage pres
ence, and has dramatic ability. Her So
prano, so far as we heard last night, is not
that of a strong singer it lacks in power to
touch the sympathies deeply. But the
voice is fresh and delicately sweet, pure
in tone. and well adapted to the chamber
concert stage. 1t is flexible, under good
control, and without particle of the me-
tallic element. The lady, while she did her
work well, was evidently somewhat en-
barrassed by the presence of large num-
Der of enthusiastic friends. In the second
act she was thrice recalled and received
handsome floral tribute, and was applaud
ed in a very fiattering manner. In the last
act Miss Winston was the recipient of
large number of choice flower pieces, and
on recall after singing charmingly pretty
air, gave The Last Rose of Summer with
great sweetness and was compelled by the
audience to repeat it. Miss Manfred was
in strong voice and acted with notable
spirit and yivacity. De LANCE was in his best
vein, and his topical songso pleased the
audience that he was compelled to protest,
after many recalls, against further encores
He received an enormous bouquet in the
last act bursting from a straw hat mounted
on trio of bamboo canes Tonight will
be the last of the company here. when will
be sung the viyacious opera. The Queens

member of the troupe.

Rnmnrs. Only.

It is the easiest thing in the world TO set
a rumor afoat, especially if it is of a SEN
sational character, for the public is always
expecting and apparently anxiously desir-
ing, something outside of the ordinary run
of events to discuss. Once started, a rumor
never shrinks, but, enlarging as it advances,
finally perishes because of overgrowth.
Some individual with vivid fancy origi-
mated rumor in this city yesterday morn
ing, or perhaps on The previous evening, to
the effect that there was a case of small
pox in town. By noon the number of
cases had increased to three, and the loca-
ton of each was given with great attention
to detail Before the close Of the afternoon
the three cases had grown TO five, and peo-
pie began TO think it very serious condi-
ton of affairs At first the city physicians
laughed at the rumors but. hearing them
frequently, ar investigation was made, and
it was determined beyond question that the
reports were all false, and that there was
not case of the disease in the city, nor, so
far as known, in this section of the State.

rae KAssON MURDER.
Search Being Made for the Perpetrators

Search Being Made for the Perpetrators
of the Deed.
The police have information that John
Kasson, who was found dead near Florin
last Sunday, with two bullet holes in his
breast, went up to Stockton from San Fran
cisco early last week on the ten cent"
steamer, and on Wednesday or Thursday
left the former city to look for work, being
accompanied by four others. white man
and boy, q colored man, short and heavy,
and another, either half-breed or a negro.
They were in Elk Grove on Friday, the
day previous to the murder, but did not
stay together much, as they were inquiring
for employment, but frequently met. The
only person in the party possessed of any
money was Kasson. One of the colored
men had a pistol. For various reasons
these companions of the deceased are be-
lieved to know the circumstances under
which he died. Yesterday morning Chief
Dillman received a dispatch from Consta
bic Bevans, of Wheatland, stating that the
two colored, and white tramp, had been
seen together near that place. and inquir-
ing whether they were wanted for the Kas-
son murder. The Chief not having any
fund from which to pay the expenses of a
search for the murderers. turned the matter
over to Sheriff Drew, who, although there
is no special provision in the law for the
payment of expenses, the matter being at
the discretion of the Supervisors, imme-
diately prepared to go after the suspected
parties, but as a preliminary step at once
wired Constable Bevans to arrest the men,
and answer when they were in custody.
The desired notification was not received
here during the day, and Sheriff Drew con-
cluded not to go up to Wheatland until the
arrests were made. 1t is known that the
boy who was with the party at Elk Grove
separated from them there. A brisk search
viii be inaugurated for Kassons murder
ers, and the Governor will be urged to offer
a reward for their arrest and conviction
before the trail becomes too cold to follow.

THE SIGNS OF THE TIMEs.
The Business Outlook-A Sharp Advance
in Real Estate.

in Real Estate.
A visit to the different real estate Offices
in this city yesterday developed the I'M
mistakable fact that real estate of all
kinds had taken an upward tendency, and
transfers at advanced figures were treble
that of any former year. There is an I'M
paralleled demand for small farms, and
every agent in the city is disposing of small
farms at an advanced figure, not only in
Sacramento county, but also in Butte,
Placer and Ell Dorado. Each of the real
estate agencies has one individual steadily
employed III answering letters from the
East. City property has also taken a sharp
turn within the last thirty days, and a
piece of property on ] street, which could
have been purchased year ago for $40 900,
was yesterday Withdrawn from sale, and at
least $50, 900 is now considered its value BY
its owner. The fact IS undeniable that
within a radius of 100 miles of the CITY of
Sacramento is a section of country in
natural resources unsurpassed, is sparsely
settled, and can be purchased at this time
at price much less than its real value, and
at 10 cents upon the dollar to what similar
or lands not so good are sold in Southern
California. On the Cardwell tract, Just
nOrIn OF tnlS CITY, 0,UUU acres all under
fence and in grain, the wheat stands to-day
thirty three inches in hight. Beat that
you who can. On Colonel McNasser's
ranch, on the Riverside road, the bar
ley fields are headed, and stand three
and a half feet in hight, and the
alfalfa from twelve TO eighteen inches.
What section can make better showing at
this season of the year? The former tract
is all for sale to settlers in lots to suit at
small figure on the installment plan. Who,
Under such circumstances, cannot buy a
first-class farm at a small figure? More
cottages and dwellings are going up in Sac
romento than at any time in its previous
history, and there is not decent vacant
house in town. Business of all kinds is
driving, business houses are putting in new
fronts, adding largely to their stocks. the
hammer and saw is heard in every direc-
ton, an army of painters are at work all
over the city, the traffic by river and rail is
on the increase, and the future of Sacra-
mento, the second city of the coast is now
assured. Her natural advantages both by
river and rail, and backed by the whole
Sacramento valley and the fruitful foothills
of the Sierras' are advantages that no rival
can Wrest from her
